BOATERS AND ANGLERS CAN NOW ORGANIZE GEAR IN STYLE...
Nothing catches the eye quicker than the glitter of polished stainless steel. To keep things close at hand and brighten the look of the cockpit, BoatMates Marine, a division of HCL Ltd., offers its new Tournament Series stainless steel Folding Drink Holder and Knife And Pliers Caddy.
Made from polished 304 stainless for timeless good looks and functionality, the Folding Drink Holder not only saves space, but also incorporates molded silicone fingers to adjust to varying sizes of cans, cups, cozies and mugs. A silicone coaster on the inside of the cover reduces noise and keeps containers from sliding.
For fishermen, the Knife And Pliers Caddy, also in 304 stainless, is great for keeping small tools, lures and lines handy and off the deck. Injection-molded ABS inserts protect tools and reduce noise...

Volvo Penta is now launching a new propulsion system for boats – the Volvo Penta IPS (Inboard Performance System).
The new system is proposed to make boats faster, stronger, quieter, cleaner and just as easily maneuverable as a normal passenger car.
In simplified terms, the new system features propellers that are turned in the direction in which the boat is traveling. Volvo Penta has placed pulling and counter-rotating propellers through the bottom of the hull, which provides the boat with significantly improved performance, compared with traditional shaft installations...

WITH ELONGATED BOWL, THE ATLANTES HAS THE COMFORT OF HOME...
For boaters that insist on the comforts of home while onboard, the Atlantes toilet from Raritan is available with an elongated bowl. Its larger seat size is far more comfortable than the standard marine toilet seat.
The residential-sized Atlantes provides an optimal sitting height. Nearly 3" deeper than a standard bowl, the sturdy, oval-shaped toilet offers a supportive, restful sitting area for maximum comfort. The extended rim length makes cleaning easier and improves sanitary conditions.
The electric macerating toilet conserves water through three flush options: normal, water saver and dry flush. It also has an adjustable, automatic timed-flush feature. Easy to clean and maintain, the Atlantes offers consistent, trouble-free performance. All working parts are contained inside the one-piece porcelain bowl for simple, flexible installation above or below the waterline...

CLEAT CHOCKS CATCH THE EYE BUT NOT THE LINE
Stainless-steel cleat chocks from New Found Metals are not only stylish and innovative, but are hand-polished so lines can pass through without danger of chafing. A cleat chock can function as a cleat, a chock or a fairlead.
The chock's horns are offset from the base at a slight angle, to lead the mooring line away from the hull as much as possible. The cleat chock can be mounted inboard or outboard.
Hand-polished cleat chock surfaces, especially the undersides of the horns, ensure uniform smoothness to virtually eliminate friction against secured lines.
The 316 Series comes in three sizes: 8", 10" and 12", with 3/8" x 2" studs on the first two and a ½" x 2" stud on the l2-incher. The smallest chock weighs about 2-1/2 lbs.
MSRP of the cleats starts at $39.95.

THE CABLEMASTER: ShorePower Made Easy
One way a boater can run afoul of the gear when docking or undocking is by wrestling with heavy, soiled, shore-power cables - and maybe wrenching his back in the process. With the touch of a button, Glendinning Marine Products' Cablemaster units will extend, retract and store many different sizes of shore cable, keeping them out of the water and the decks free of excess coils of cable.
Cablemaster comes in three models and can handle 30- to 200-amp cables. Time-tested Cablemasters, widely accepted by major yacht manufacturers worldwide, handle cables up to 2 inches (50 mm) in outside diameter.
Unlike industrial reels, the Cablemaster system does not carry shore power through slips rings or brushes, which can be susceptible to moisture or corrosion in a harsh marine environment...

CELLTEC, manufacturer of computerized marine battery monitoring systems, has just introduced its high-tech CELLSTAT SW1 Marine Battery Switch that monitors battery and alternator performance—and even warns of failure before it happens.
Containing a microprocessor using a patented System-on-Chip technology, the SW1 performs a load test on the battery at every engine start and monitors alternator output and the level of battery charge. Bright, multi-colored LEDs on the monitor's face display the test results. A Master Warning Indicator with light and audible alarm is included for remote mounting at the helm or other location.
The CELLSTAT SW1 is constructed of UV-resistant nylon and can be easily surface-mounted in or near the battery compartment. The monitor's modest power consumption in standby creates an insignificant battery draw...

The Bridgenorth Bailer is a 3-in-1 telescopic boat hook. Whether docking, launching, retrieving or mooring, the Bailer is a must have for boaters.
The pump seal is made of real leather and can be adjusted with pliers through one of three slots in the locking device. Unlike twist-lock hooks which can accidentally unlock when extended, the Bailer's patented three slot locking system secures the pole at any length...
